Emergency Exception Information:
The SWCA Rules and Regulations specifically state the following:
“No vendors will be allowed on Sunday or holidays with the exception of emergency activities (i.e., A/C, electrical, plumbing, etc.) or if a state of emergency is in effect.” and “If work needs to be extended after hours due to an emergency, the SWCA office must be informed at 239-319-1288 Monday through Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. For after-hours vendor response, residents need to call 239-445-8739 and provide the vendor’s name, address, and purpose.”
SWCA does not identify what constitutes an emergency so owners should make their best judgement. Homeowners and/or their home watch representatives are also encouraged to do the following:
-
Add the word “EMERGENCY” after the vendor’s name when entering it into their guest list on DwellingLive (for example: Castle Group - EMERGENCY).
-
Add this vendor as a temporary guest for that specific day only to draw attention to it.
-
Tell the vendor to identify themselves as an emergency service at the gate when checking in with the attendant.
This helps the gate staff quickly identify and verify legitimate emergency access while maintaining proper community security. It is important to point out that all guests and vendors must always be added to DwellingLive.
